Berenice D’Vorzon entered the American art scene with a one artist show in 1957 at the Brata Gallery in New York City and has been showing her paintings and prints ever since from Rome to Tokyo. She has also hung in a number of important museums such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, the Allentown and the Everhart Museums in Pennsylvaina, the Aldrich Museum in Connecticut, and the Guild Hall Museum of East Hampton.

Various critics have called attention to anumber of influences in her work including the Luminist landscape painters of the late nineteenth century, to Kandinsky, to deKooning. this writer would add Burchfield and Dove to the list. However, so wide a range of styles and personalities suggests that Ms. D”Vorzon is deeply cognizant of the historic tradition and that she assimilates influences rather than copying others.

Ms. D’Vorzon’s artistic beginnings were at the time of the emergence of the so called New York School which brought with it a greater interest in artistic development in the United States. The movement included both geometric abstraction and the more flamboyant and passionate abstract expressionist style in which the artist “thought in terms of symbolic equivalents of rational forces and symbolic states”.
